WALTHAM -- As the Celtics prepare for Game 7 Saturday night at TD Garden against the Sixers, Avery Bradley is resting after surgery Friday on both shoulders, a source with direct knowledge of the situation tells WEEI.com.

The source confirms that Bradley had surgery on Friday and is expecting a summer-long rehab program that could last up to four months. If all goes as expected, Bradley should be ready for training camp in October.

Bradley initially injured the rotator cuff in his left shoulder but after playing with the injury, he also injured the right shoulder to the point where it needed to be repaired as well. Bradley had the left shoulder pop out in the third quarter of Game 4 against the Sixers and missed Games 5 and 6 before deciding to have surgery on Friday, performed by team doctor Brian McKeon, so that he could be ready for training camp in October.

Ray Allen started in place of Bradley and will start again Saturday night in Game 7.
